Abstract

Purpose

This study aimed to investigate functional outcome and complications after primary and revision modular H-TKA using hybrid fixation with cementless stems.

Methods

Between 2015 and 2018, 48 patients with 50 implants were included after hybrid implantation of a single design H-TKA system using cementless osseointegrating stems and modular components. Complications and clinical outcome were analysed using Knee Society Score (KSS), the Western Ontario McMasters Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and the Short-Form Health Survey 12 (SF-12) score.

Results

Indications for implantation were aseptic revision (n = 29, 58%), primary TKA (n = 19, 38%) and two-stage septic revisions (n = 2, 4%). Complications were reported in 26% (n = 12), whereas complications associated with hybrid fixation occurred in 5 (10%) cases, with 2 (4%) requiring revision surgery for aseptic loosening and 3 (6%) treated with an adapted postoperative protocol for perioperative fractures. Implant survivorship was 84% after a mean follow-up of 54 months. Postoperative KSS significantly improved from 51.50 (12–100) to 78.36 (41–99; p < 0.001). The mean WOMAC score was 19.26 (0–55), SF-12 PCS was 41.56 points (22.67–57.66) and SF-12 MCS was 49.21 points (23.87–63.21).

Conclusion

Hybrid modular implantation in H-TKA provides satisfactory clinical and functional results in primary and revision TKA. Clinical outcomes significantly improve with reduced pain, increased mobility, and good-to-excellent functional scores after implantation. Whilst implant survival is comparable to previous studies and complications associated with hybrid fixation are low, general complication rates are comparably high.
